Of the new list, TIME’s editors write: “The result is a list of
200 groundbreaking inventions —including the world's largest
computer chip, a humanoid robot joining the workforce, and a
bioluminescent houseplant—that are changing how we live, work,
play, and think about what’s possible.”
Logitech Sight is recognized in the Connectivity &
Communications category for its impact on upgrading communications
and keeping relationships strong. “This edge AI technology is a
testament to Logitech’s ambition to ensure inclusive experiences
for everyone,” said Prakash Arunkundrum, Chief Operating Officer
and GM of Logitech for Business.
The novel approach to multi-framing was developed in response to
hybrid work meetings where remote workers felt excluded from the
in-room conversations– a pervasive problem the video conferencing
industry calls inequitable meetings. “To improve those scenarios,
we took inspiration from multicamera techniques often seen in news
broadcasts and talk shows to create an experience that makes remote
workers feel as if they are actually seated at the table with their
colleagues,” said Henry Levak, VP of Product, Logitech for
Business.
Sight’s two 4K cameras capture an all-around view of the action.
Seven microphones on top of Sight use acoustic beams and direction
of arrival technology to intelligently triangulate where voices are
coming from and pinpoint active speakers. Finally, a powerful
processor in the device intelligently captures all this audio and
video to frame it and switch it to the active speakers.
In a recent software update, Sight’s Smart Switching feature
uses AI to automate how front-of-room conference camera Rally Bar
or Rally Bar Mini and Sight work together to render a
front-and-center view of whoever is speaking, regardless of which
direction they are facing.
Logitech Sight has also been awarded Fast Company Innovation by
Design 2023, IDA Design Awards 2024, Red Dot Winner 2024, and IF
Design Award 2024.
